* AgeLift: Nappa is shown to have gone to Saiyan Kindergarten alongside Vegeta. In canon, Nappa is roughly 20 years older than Vegeta.



* AscendedExtra: Despite dying after the second episode, Raditz shows up repeatedly. Gozar's making up for the lack of screentime this villain gets (especially compared to other villains.)

* CutawayGag: Tends to happen often, especially as the series went on. A later episode even has Trunks becoming annoyed with the adults constantly doing this and taking focus away from his and Goten’s plot.



** Gohan was actually rather well liked by the rest of the cast in earlier episodes, the only person who actively disliked him was Vegeta and that was only when Gohan was in his Mystic form. An early episode actually even deals with Piccolo being worried that Mystic Gohan might not want to be friends with him anymore. Roughly around the Saiyan Saga retelling was when everyone began disliking Gohan.

Alternate Reality DBZ is the ''Anime/DragonballZ'' version of ''WebVideo/YuGiOhTheAbridgedSeries'', created by a guy named [=SSJGozar=]. He refuses to call it ''DBZ TheAbridgedSeries'' because every other parody series calls itself "The Abridged Series" (Just like [[WebVideo/DragonballAbridged Team Four Star's series]]).. Unlike ''[[WebVideo/YuGiOhTheAbridgedSeries Yu-Gi-Oh!]]'' and ''[[WebVideo/NarutoTheAbridgedSeries Naruto Abridged]]'', Gozar separates the story into different situations. However it begins to take a turn like ''Anime/YuGiOh'' and ''Manga/{{Naruto}}'' with doing it like a series. Similar to the other two, it mocks certain aspects of the storyline, the characters and even some lines from the original dub. However, this series is on par with ''WebVideo/YuGiOhTheAbridgedSeries'' and ''[[WebVideo/NarutoTheAbridgedSeries Naruto Abridged]]''.
